Chapter 2

It's been a long time since I've spoken to someone in a few hundred years, especially ningen... Ever since the second important, save-the-world mission that killed Sanzo and the others, I couldn't even hold my dear wife... I loved her cooking he best. But since I'm trapped between worlds of the living and the dead... I only could watch as our families move on and forget about us. The world changed a lot since our times. There were no more youkais hunting ningen but in ningen hearts, the youkai nature grew, causing more destruction than youkais ever did.

There she was, staring into my eves. For the first time, someone could hear me, just like Sanzo did. For the first time, I could touch a living person again. Somehow, I was closely connected to Asuka, my descendant. She looked much like Houmei 2 only with golden eyes like mine, I wonder if she even cooks like her... But now, I need her help, more than ever. Sanzo and the others were in danger, or more accurately, their souls.

"Why me?"

"You're special Asuka... You are the only one that I could reach to... "

I could see the puzzled expression on her face. She kinda reminded me of the younger me, the one that went along to the West to prevent Gyumao's revival... The same one that got beaten with Sanzo's fan... Suddenly she had a very short spasm. I was pretty sure of what was going to happen. She inherited my strength and my skills; therefore there is also the possibility of her to...

Asuka, I need you to go somewhere. If possible, the sooner the better!

"Why... Just a moment ago, I felt like there was something..."

Your youkai blood is awaking... You will lose control of yourself if you don't get a limiter soon! You can't control your increasing powers yet!

She looked like she didn't believe me. Who wouldn't? Would you listen to somebody that just pop out of nowhere and claims to be your ancestor? A long time ago, after Gyumao's revival thing, I've manage to live together with my youkai side, so it was no big deal if my limiter would be off or broken again... Houmei liked the 'real me' but Sanzo and the others seemed to bug me more... Was I that bad? I told Asuka to retrieve my limiter, which Houmei had kept in some temple...

"That temple?" She cried.

"It's just a few blocks from here..." She continued, then another spasm. She was going to change. Just like me a few times before. The pain of your insides changing, cell-by-cell...claws growing and such. It was only time that matters now before she will become a youkai.

Asuka ran through the door, pushing aside her parents as they return from their daily work. The sun was already gone and the sky was a mix of bluish-orange. I followed her as she turned a few times then to a halting stop in front of an abandoned temple. I was getting worried, as her spasm intervals were getting shorter. I led her up the temple stairs. There was this big sign saying that this temple will be demolished in a few days and a new shopping mall will be put in its place.

Deep inside the temple a small glint of gold could be seen at the top of the main beam. It was my old limiter. Asuka climbed up quickly awhile holding the pain in. I was glad that she'd finally managed to grab the limiter. But it seems like the gods were toying with us when this time her spasm got even worse. She lost her balance and plunge to the ground below. I ran trying to catch her, and I did. Then I realized, I was floating in the air like a damn ghost... Wait a minute, I am... Asuka was gritting her teeth as the tip of her ears began to... uh, pointed. Quickly, I slipped the limiter on her head. The transformation stopped.

That night, I told her about everything that has happed to me and the other three. How I told her that Saiyuki wasn't just a folklore... it really happened. I exist, Hakkai exist, the perverted kappa exist, even that Sanzo-wannabe Kami-sama. I told her how I regained my memories of heaven, memories of Nataku, memories of Konzen...

"So, now I have to find descendants of the others and go West in order to break some curse and kick some bad guy's behind ?"

"Hai... "

"Problem, just where to start finding those three? And I only have two weeks of free time!"

"You will know eventually... The four of us are tied with a fatal bond... Maybe so are you and the rest."

Asuka gave me that do-you-really-know-what-you're-doing look...

K: That was a short one...

Z: Too much thinking going on, I can't think of better crap to fit in...

K: Other descendants... Hakkai and Goku I'd understand, but what about Sanzo and Gojyo...

Z: Gojyo's a hybrid so in scientific terms he is sterile Gojyo pops out from behind with a few veins popping out , but lets say in this story he finally settles down and has kids through the help of science. As for Sanzo-sama... Lets not talk about it. Think it for yourself...

K: Zymz-sama, what are you planning to do with that? Points at whip and candles in Zymz's hands

Z: Evil grin It's playtime, Kazuki-chan...

K: Gulps...

Z: Review and I'll add the next chapter
